Hi, I have a WD50NDZW-11BCSS0 drive with a damaged MCU for recovery (PCB# 2060-810035-000) and I just want to know if there is any solution to recover user data from this drive. I've already replaced the original PCB with a donor PCB with the original ROM has been transferred and I can access the sectors on the drive which all encrypted. Thank You!

No, there is no way to recover them without the original MCU.

Thank you SGdata for your reply. I knew it wasn't possible, but I held onto a slim hope. ;;)
